The fact that the Berlin papers felt
called upon TO say that tho German
populsce would receive the Russian Car
with the resPect due the Emperor's

Ludwig hnaus painted on one canvas
the family OF the Russian hnancier
Strousborg, who became bankrupt some
time ago. The picture has drifted TO
Paris, where the dealer who owns it pro-
poses to cut out the several figures and
sell them separately. Paintings by
knaus bring extraordinary prices.
Further gossip is to the effect that the
children OF Strousberg have offered
$1,000 or 1900 to save the family group
from disruption.

Its course.
